Recruit for diversity and inclusion

Join more than 40 major Portland-area employers to hire diverse talent at career fair with roundtables

The 17th annual Diversity Employment Day career fair and roundtables is coming up to Portland on Aug. 23.

More than 40 recruiters from OHSU to the Oregon Lottery are already signed up to participate in building a workforce that reflects and represents the community.

The diversity career fair events provide recruiters access to the nation's largest pool of diverse, multicultural and qualified professionals. It's the only career fair that targets and delivers candidates from all classes covered under the Title VII Civil Rights Act of 1964 including women, people of color, seniors, LGBTQ people and people with disabilities.

Event host City Career Fair, a women- and minority-owned company based in California, was developed to fill the need to provide companies with highly qualified, diverse candidates. The company holds more than 30 of these huge diversity career fairs nationwide, commending local diversity partners for making more than 10,000 hires.

According to its website, "it provides the most effective, solution-oriented service to clients who want face-to-face opportunities to meet with professional candidates in the most cost-effective, progressive and dynamic manner. The synergy created by its corporations overpower traditional methods of recruiting professional level candidates."

The mission is to provide corporate America with the most qualified candidates from the city, county and state's richly diverse communities with the understanding that diversity is a good business strategy.
